Oops sorry, I created that thread and I hardly check it haha. If someone wants to do the 80s by all means, I think it'll be fun. I tend to overextend myself when it comes to committing to projects so if someone else takes over that's probably a good thing 😄 .

I asked Jhereko about that in the post a question for a user thread but it probably would have been better to post it here. I'd love to do it.

I prefer the 60s one, but both are honestly really great. Great work Jhereko, can't wait for the next installment. 😄

Alright cheers pretty people. I'll post the full list up soonish. But won't be doing the 80s for a while because the end of year is busy for everyone and the BEAMAs are coming up anyway. Hope you enjoyed/weren't too disappointed in your top 100 songs of the 1970s.
